Текст песни Guru-seva - Bhakti Rasa dasa

Prabhupada said in the last year
When he was in his room lying upon his bed
It must have been five six seven days
Before he left his world
And he said there is no more fortunate position
Than to be a pujari of the deity
He said this

And he was meditating upon the deities here
And thinking how fortunate are these pujaris
That they get to engage in loving service to the divine couple
Krishna balarama, gaura nitai
And offer such intimate service
So devotees should take opportunity of doing
These seva pujas, doing prayers
There are so many beautiful prayers you can learn
From bhagavatam, narottam thakur and all wonderful acaryas
You can learn to offer that service
You recite these prayers and through the auspices
Of your spiritual master under guidance of his spiritual master
Offer these services to the divine couple
This is the best service uh
Such nice service

So this we do on the one hand
And then we do preaching work
Sometimes devotees ask how can I do such meditation
When I have so many other engagements to do
I have to, well whatever we have to do
Cause most of us cannot afford to always be in Vrindavan
Because either we don't have enough desire to be here
Or we have too many other services assigned to us

So how will I be able to enter into such a mood
But You should not think for a moment that the service
Of your spiritual master and the service
Of the mission of chaitanya mahaprabhu
Is in any way separate from meditating
Upon these beautiful pastimes of Radha and Krishna

Because it is said that you just go on doing this service
Very nicely to your spiritual master
Whatever service you have been assigned
And then one day at the proper time
You will jump up and get all the benefits
Of the service which you have done
And all of the meditation can become realised very quickly by you
You'll get so much qualification, simply by this connection
Of doing guru seva
